As a mom who loves Jesus and who wants to faithfully raise up the kids you’ve been trusted with, it can feel like a blessed, yet heavy burden to be discipling them in today’s secular world. 

What’s right? What’s wrong? And how can you teach your kids to stand firm in BOTH their faith AND their conviction, while still showing love…

Author Catherine Parks joins me on the podcast today, to discuss her kids’ Bible study “What to Wear.” Inside of the episode, we’ll take a look at what Paul teaches in Colossians chapter 3, so that you can equip your kids to know who they are, how they’re called to live and how to stand for their faith in today’s (cRaZy) world.

The #1 thing I get asked about as a homeschool mom is “What curriculum are you guys using?!” 

While most homeschool moms are quick to answer that question with… “the curriculum is NOT the most important thing,” (I agree) I always add… “but it’s also NOT the least important thing!”

Your choice of curriculum DOES matter! And you want to know… which one is the BEST one?! 

Today, I’m sharing what our family is using in the areas of Language Arts, Math, Science, History and Bible as my kiddos head into the 4th, 7th and 9th grades!

It’s going to be a great school year ahead!

Calling all (future) homeschoolers. 📣

This is a sign that you CAN and SHOULD homeschool if the Lord has laid it on your heart. 

He put it on mine and it took me 2 1/2 years to obey his call. When I did… it held mountains of blessing. (It will for you too!) 

Inside of this episode, we’ll discuss what homeschool is NOT, what it IS, what matters most and why you should consider stepping into it. 

Buckle up, mama! We’re about to go to school!

Can we talk about “mom emotions?” They are real. They are big. (Sometimes they are really big.) 

And if we’re being honest, they can be hard to manage. 

The thing is… there is nothing new under the sun. Moms have been wrestling with their emotions since the fall of mankind. 

Can you imagine the guilt and shame that Eve must have felt right after she ate the forbidden fruit? Or the emotions that came with raising children in a newly-fallen world?

Join Mirella Acebo (author of SOS for the MOM) and me, as we discuss the women of the Bible who have gone before us as mothers, and the secret to managing those big mom emotions that you are feeling right now.

A while back, I was chatting with a friend about some issues I’d been having and before long, we were deep diving into gut health. Turns out that your gut health is hugely important and the truth is, it can directly impact MANY of your body’s systems and functions (we’re talking brain, hormones, skin, and more). 

So I’m all ears today, and I’m sure you will be too, as Katie Lovitt, a functional gut health dietitian joins us to take a closer look at YOUR gut health and how it could be impacting your life. 

Press play and let’s dive into Hippocrates' idea that "all disease begins in the gut.” I’m believing this episode will equip and empower you to start your healing journey!

New forms of technology seem to be popping up overnight. First came Alexa and Siri. Then, Tik Tok and crypto currencies. Now, we’re all hearing the buzz around Artificial Intelligence, specifically ChatGPT. 

What is AI, really? What is ChatGPT capable of exactly? And how in the world are you going to navigate it? More, importantly, how are you going to help your KIDS navigate it safely?

Today on the pod, I’m sharing my thoughts about this “new reality,” as well as some key Bible verses that will help you decide whether to utilize AI with wisdom, or to steer clear of it altogether.
